That or LB. since both are pretty instinctual. And frankly the skills say a DE or DT do not develop in college using ones hands effectively. Most of them are flat freaks of nature that can overpower most college OL guys.

When they get to the BIGS they soon find out the OL they are up against has been doing their job for 4-15 years amped know all the tricks, not to mention are probably bigger than they are.

How ever RB and LB are used to playing n space with most RBs being the best athletes on the offense.

Most LB have a problem getting separation from pulling OGs but that is easily taught.

WRs are often head above those CBs in college then they get to the NFL where Every week they are going against the One or two Best they ever saw in college. They can no longer just out athlete them. They have to learn routes and technique, which takes some time.

I have often heard "This position is the hardest to play in the NFL from college...."Makes me wonder, what's the easiest transition? Running Back?

Better than the Denver Browns of a few years ago!!!

Thanks do not follow them that much..Typically DTs are slow to get it, unles they are a super star in college it is frustrating watching the slow growth in the NFL game..And even the super stars may show flashes of their talent but most grow into better players after a couple of years.

He had excellent coahing in Carolina. Top notch crew over there. Hopefully his slow progress is more tied to maturity/late bloomer. Like....Big Vick.

Broncos also added DT Brandon Moore to the practice squad and released WR Chad Bumphis.

As for Fua I wonder what happens once he gets some decent coaching.. as well as our weight training for the rest of the season and in the off season..

He may also become the next OG for the future a lot like Garland..

Anyone know the terms of the contract?

This is good news at least!

Just read Lard, and of the names mentioned I'd have tried Okoye. Having seen a coupe of his games I just think there's potential there that with the right scheme and coach....

Posted by Mike Birtwistle on 2013-11-27 17:11:06

I assume that's the thinking here, yes. Just thought Bannan could contribute much sooner (but could be wrong) and the Broncos do indeed like developing younger players now.

Starting to look like it's the Denver Panthers around here...lol.

Bummer about Big Vick!!!!!!

You must be right - although Bannan sure was good last year and he knows the system.

I think if you're going to go with subpar play, you may as well go with young talent that could develop.

Like others earlier, I'm a bit surprised they didn't bring Bannan back, but maybe he's done playing in Denver after being rejected once before? Or just isn't a fit or they worry about his age+health? Fua seems like he has upside even if performance has been "meh" so far. Just rotational depth at this point anyway.
